As a dedicated tour professional, I enjoy meeting new people and planning custom itineraries for them. It will be a great pleasure to show all of you one of the unexplored destination of the Balkans & world, Albania.

I hope to welcome you as my clients and introduce you to my beautiful country. I can guide tours all over the country starting from the capital, Tirana, to the 3 UNESCO sites in Albania, the numerous castles and various unexplored places. Apart historical and cultural information, I like to give to my clients also an insight of the country including traditions, food, local life etc. For any question or information, I am at your disposal.
